I just finished four weeks of daily radiation for breast cancer from Dr Uhl at Epic Care in Emeryville. I can't speak more highly of Dr. Uhl and her office staff. Dr Uhl explained everything thoroughly, was compassionate and very professional. So was her medical assistants Gloria and Alejandra. When I entered the office they always had a smile on their face and answered all my questions. Michelle, Robyn and Diane, the radioactive technicians, were caring and professional. I was scared for my procedure but trusted them implicitly. I would without a doubt recommend this office and her staff. read more

Dr. Valerie Uhl was amazing!! She is patient and took quite a bit of time with me to explain the radiation process I was a candidate for. It was specialized as a one time treatment and only a small group of doctors are able to provide this level of care at the same time as my surgery. She also took an hour with me after my biopsy came back in to explain what my form of cancer was. I'd highly recommend her and the team of professionals she works with. read more

I am very pleased with the care I received at the Emeryville clinic. Dr Uhl explained everything with great care and detail. She also gave me her cell phone and email for questions in between treatments. Her knowledge and experience were a great comfort to me. Dr Sachdeva was also very professional and kind and took great care of me. Jenifer the medical assistant was very gracious, kind and helpful, and checked in with me about how to navigate the facility, informed me if there was a delay, and put me at ease. The radiation therapists, Diane, Robyn and Michelle were wonderful. They answered all my questions, were very supportive, professional and did an amazing job. The entire staff made a very difficult time much better than I expected. I highly recommend this practice, and the entire staff. read more

Dr Yuhl. is truly a gem. Meeting her every week during the treatments, she is caring, organized and so informative. She maps out not only these treatments but the rest of the cancer journey with all of my physician visits and what to expect for the future. Her breast cancer research expertise gives me cutting edge care. From the receptionists:Terrance and Torria, (wait time: max 0--2 people) to the extremely efficient, warm & compassionate, radiation techs: Michelle, Diane, Robin (+others) who made these treatments really reasonably comfortable. Appts were on time with precise care. They were always there to explain every step of the way. Being a critical care RN for 40 years RN, this is the best care I can imagine now that I am a patient. I am confident this is the best place to be for the care I am receiving. Truly excellence in care with this team of professionals. read more

Dr Uhl is awesome. If you need to see a radiation oncologist, I highly recommend Dr. Valery Uhl. She's a trusted referral. My cousin (head of oncology at a Bay Area hospital) recommended that I see Dr. Uhl. She talks to you like you have a brain. You have googled medical terms, asked friends, done your research, and you have questions! So did I. I met with Dr. Uhl and spoke with her at length to understand the radiation process and plan out my treatment options. Debunked a few myths along the way. Dr. Uhl's treatment protocol incorporates an active breathing technique. This way, the distance is increased between the area receiving radiation & the heart. Longer term, it decreases the likelihood of heart problems. Above all, Dr. Uhl is a nice person. She is caring. And, funny. Dr. Uhl is awesome. read more

When I had a recurrence of cancer after prostate surgery my urologist referred me to Dr. Uhl for radiation therapy. I asked him what he thought of her and he said, "You'll love Dr. Uhl. Everybody loves Dr. Uhl." Well, I've been seeing Dr. Uhl for 15 years now (first for that radiation therapy and then for yearly follow ups). According to my ultra-sensitive PSA tests I have been cancer free for well over a decade. During my radiation treatments Dr. Uhl and her group of technicians were excellent in every way. When I started the process I was pretty much stressed out thinking about cancer coming back. Right from the beginning, however, Dr. Uhl and her team helped me focus on working towards a cure. She explained every procedure in advance and met with me on a regular basis during the entire time. She even had a stress counselor meet with me. When my treatments were completed it was sad saying goodbye to all those good and competent people. For several years after radiation I saw Dr. Uhl every six months for follow up exams. Since then it's been once a year. From the first exam until now every office visit has been positive, thorough and personalized. We consider my current general health as well as my most recent lab tests. And because Dr. Uhl cares about my total well being we often discuss a wide range of health-related topics. When I'm meeting with Dr. Uhl I feel like I'm the total center of her attention and she is bringing her wealth of knowledge to the conversation. Based on my experiences I can say that Dr. Uhl is extraordinarily committed to both her profession and her patients. If you, or someone close to you, needs radiation therapy I don't think you could choose a better doctor. In fact, I think you'll love Dr. Uhl. read more

I am a 13 year cancer survivor fortunate enough to have had an extraordinary team of doctors. each of whom contributed their knowledge, skill and training to my recovery. I found after meeting with the team and developing a treatment plan that one aspect that I was craving was personal connection and in-depth education. Fortunately, my radiation oncologist, Dr. Valery Uhl, provided this support and has continued to do so for these last 13 years. Dr Uhl connects, doctor to patient, woman to woman, human being to human being. I have read the many positive reviews that others have posted regarding Dr. Uhl and agree with them all. After all these years I still look forward to my appointment with Dr. Uhl because I always leave feeling listened to on a very personal level. I am grateful every time when Dr. Uhl takes the time to advise the mammogram findings: "Congratulations, You have no evidence of malignancy!" And this occurs BEFORE the standard letter of notification of results is mailed. Dr. Uhl is a compassionate physician who collaborates well with the oncological team. She works diligently to be at the forefront of oncology radiation research and has published many papers on her research as well as presenting at the annual San Antonio Breast Confenerance. She has brought such depth of knowledge and commitment to my continuing recovery. I am grateful. I unequivocally recommed her. read more

Dr. Valerie Uhl is an excellent Radiation Oncologist. My brother who is a physician, highly recommended her and the care I received from her was 5 star. She has a wonderful staff (Hallie, Kathleen and Robyn). They were always kind and efficient and I always felt I was in good hands.I highly recommend Dr. Uhl and her staff. Excellent medical care. Pam T read more

I want to say first that Dr. Uhl was the best doctor we had throughout the 10 years of my wife's cancer treatments. She is extremely well organized and always spends enough time with you to really find out where you are in your overall treatment and how you are feeling. She also has a very positive attitude which was very much appreciated by my wife and me. We always felt much better after having an appointment with Dr. Uhl. Her attention to detail is very impressive and she twice caught something that our regular oncologist missed. One of those times actually saved my wife from having to go through a painful operation. She has recently moved her office over to the new Epic Care building in Emeryville (510) 629-6682. It's a great location not too far off the freeway. In short, if you need a radiologist for your treatment, Dr. Uhl, is the best of the best. Gary read more

Not only is it Valentine's Day, but the Anniversary of my Radiation cancer treatment set up by Doctor Oncologist Human Being Wonderful Woman Valery Uhl in Oakland, CA. Her always upbeat support of me and my life touched me, and has enabled me to endure the unendurable. I cannot find words to express my gratitude for our serendipity-based encounters over a lump in my chest that my cat found by walking over me in bed to greet me "Good morning." Soon thereafter, because of the skillful mind, hands and knife of Berkeley surgeon Eileen Consorti, and the continuing care of her wonderful staff (K, L, & N), I am alive today to share this message with you. I truly admire, respect and am grateful for Doctors Uhl and Consorti, for their participation in my life when it took a sudden and unexpected nose-dive, and for fueling my existence in body, heart and mind, over this short, but all too long period in my life, which few can imagine, even when it happens to you. My wish: May it never happen to you, my doctors or their staff, or anyone else. It's One in Eight now, women who get breast cancer, and men as well. Breast Cancer is alive and growing. Beware. See previous Yelps: Cancer Sucks... Dr. Uhl, and Yelps for Dr. Consorti. read more

i saw Dr Valery Uhl for radiation treatments and she is really excellent! A cutting edge leader and expert in her field, I was lucky to have had her as my radiologist. The thing that sets Dr Uhl apart is her ability to connect with you and empathize which makes you feel cared for both physically and emotionally which is important when you have breast cancer. Many doctors are very good technically, but will they go that extra mile for you? Dr Uhl did when I told her I had maxed out on my insurance for the year and she helped get the ball rolling to get the most out of my benefits for the rest of the year! She takes bedside manner to a new level because she really wants to get to know you as a human being and vice versa. I highly recommend Dr. Uhl because she is very skilled and a compassionate human being! read more

Dr. Uhl is one of the finest, brilliant, most genuine, compassionate, thoughtful, big-picture and also detail-oriented doctors I have ever met and had the pleasure of being monitored by for radiation and my 4 years of post-breast cancer appointments. Once you are in her care, you can breathe easier knowing you are getting the best of care available amongst the best-of-the-best. read more

Dr. Valerie Uhl is an amazing oncologist and a fabulous human being. When l felt shaky and scared about radiation treatments for my breast cancer she walked me through the whole process with caring and compassion. She also has a searing Intelligence that made me trust she knew exactly what she was doing and could walk me through the scientific rationale. It is really amazing to find her caliber of physician in a medical world that can feel alienating and uncaring. She prepares for my visits and has questions and feedback ready to go. If you need a radiation oncologist to walk you through a difficult time with intelligence, warmth and humor don't look any farther. Dr. Uhl is absolutely the best! read more

I was in tears of relief and gratitude after my visit with Dr. Uhl. She has the ability to explain treatment in ways that are understandable, she connects on a personal level, she is very upbeat but realistic, and she obviously has tireless energy for helping her patients. The team that she works with at Epic care are amazing. Each Dr. is smarter, more personable and more compassionate than the next. The facilities are easy to navigate and the staff and Drs. assistants all provide a team that make this experience as good as it can be. read more

I hold Dr. Valerie Uhl , radiation oncologist, in high regard. She is very bright, personable and answers every Question I have with lots of detail , anticipating things i gave not even thought of. From my first meeting with her, she made me feel relaxed and she instilled confidence. She has a relaxed manner and goes a step beyond by helping make future appointments and relating to you like a person not just 'her patient'. Her staff at Epic Care ,the radiation techs or therapists are all excellent!!! Diane, Hallie, Kathleen and Robyn are all kind, professional and very skilled at what they do. I had to go for radiation treatments for a month for breast cancer- 5 days a week. I was very anxious before i started treatments and each one of them made me feel well taken care of and relaxed. They reassured me if i had questions and always were willing to explain what they were doing and answer anything about the treatment. This made such a difference to an already stressful situation. I can not say enough good things about the team at Epic Care. From the front desk , to my radiation treatments to Dr. Uhl... my experience has been So positive. Queen, the front desk receptionist , I have only positive things to say!! She is very professional and friendly. she always is willing to handle the situation at hand. she is patient and polite and I never felt rushed at all! She is excellent at what she does!!! Having Queen as the first person you encounter at the front desk makes you feel taken care of and like this is a professional place of care. i would highly recommend Epic Care without hesitation!!!! read more

Dr. Uhl is an incredible doctor, so well-versed, kind, and thorough. She not only designed and implemented my radiation treatment for breast cancer, she was so helpful in assisting me in navigating the entire cancer treatment process. Her energy and positive attitude is contagious and helped keep me positive as well. I was treated at Epicare in Emeryville, and the radiation technicians who work there with Dr. Uhl were remarkable. They were not only extremely professional and helpful, but kind and understanding. They made what is a scary and a bit daunting experience very manageable and almost a fun (I know that sounds like a stretch, but these women were amazing). I would highly recommend Dr. Uhl and the Epicare radiation group to anyone who requires radiation treatment. read more

Dr. Uhl is the best doctor I know. She is smart, knowledgeable, compassionate, understanding and helpful. She takes the time to answer all my questions and concerns, she is accessible and friendly. I have been seeing Dr. Uhl for over 3 years and I feel blessed to have her as my doctor. At my recent appointment waiting to see Dr. Uhl, I overheard a phone conversation in the waiting room between a patient calling in and a medical assistant (I think her name was Laura). The patient was trying to locate another doctor (not in Pleasant Hill office that day). What impressed me the most about this call was that Laura went out of her way to find that doctors location, contact them directly, provide patients information to whoever answered that call, get back to the patient, explain all the details and transfer that patient so they don't have to make another call and repeat themselves to someone else. This was so impressing to me because I've been on the other side of that line calling with anxiety and stress and I was so happy to hear Laura go above and beyond to help this patient. I'm so impressed with that entire office!! Just.The.Best!! read more

DR. UHL IS THE BEST!!! I had breast cancer 10 years ago and Dr. Uhl was the best doctor I have ever had. She took me through a scary process and guided me through all my treatment and was always there for me. She spent a lot of time explaining the treatment and what to expect. I used to come running to her office after every mammogram and she was so patient and reassuring. I have now hit my 10 year mark and am doing great. Because of her, I am no longer scared of mammograms. She cured me of my breast cancer and I ask her every year to keep seeing me. At our yearly visit she tells me the latest in breast cancer research and I leave with a big smile. If you have breast cancer, consider seeking out Dr. Uhl for an opinion, she is so kind and smart. You will be glad you did. I am so grateful to her and her caring team. read more

Dr Uhl treated me for breast cancer. I feel very lucky. She is a skilled, knowledgeable radiation oncologist.

She is experienced and kind, a winning combination for a doctor, particularly when I was faced with a scary diagnosis. read more

Dr. Valery Uhl is an expert in the field of radiation oncology. In terms of competency, she is as good as it gets. But she is also compassionate and caring. She takes time during your appointment. treats you with respect, listens to you, answers your questions, provides you with information and contacts and follows up when she says she will. She goes the extra mile trying to accommodate your needs and your schedule. Dr. Uhl treated me 5 1/2 years ago after my original breast cancer surgery and most recently last month when I needed radiation treatment after removal of keloids. Dr. Valery Uhl and her staff at Summit Medical Center are excellent! read more

I feel very lucky to have had Dr Valery Uhl as the Doctor who handled my radiation treatments. Just a few years ago, I would not have been able to have more radiation as I had already been radiated in the same spot for an earlier breast cancer. Dr Uhl is on the forefront of cutting edge techniques that will permit very targeted radiation to treat the previously radiated patient. She is exceptionally smart plus she is a genuinely nice person. I was lucky to have her on my team! She seems to have boundless energy which goes along great with her extreme kindness. read more
